I have similar problems with my Dell E6400. OSS works fine and ALSA appears to, but the sound that comes out the speakers is a bunch of closely spaced clicks, perhaps best described as what a candy wrapper sounds like when you crinkle it.
I tried the fix of modifying /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base with the new options statement, but it didn't solve it for me. The E6400 also has the same sound card: lshw -c multimedia WARNING: you should run this program as super-user. *-multimedia description: Audio device product: 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller vendor: Intel Corporation physical id: 1b bus info: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:00:1b.0 version: 03 width: 64 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: bus_master cap_list configuration: driver=HDA Intel latency=0 module=snd_hda_intel Any tips would be appreciated!
